- Camp Leakey — The park’s most famous orangutan research and rehabilitation center; feeding platforms bring semi-habituated orangutans close enough for great photos and real, human-scale moments with these incredible apes. (Personal favorite — the mix of history, timber boardwalks and raw wildlife never gets old.)
- Sekonyer River cruise — The slow boat ride is the backbone of any visit: blackwater river threading through peat swamp forest, wildlife on the banks, and that quiet, jungle-on-water feeling you won’t get from trails alone.
- Pondok Tanggui feeding platform — Smaller and more peaceful than Camp Leakey; excellent for intimate orangutan encounters and cleaner light for photography. Often less crowded if you want space to watch behavior unfold.
- Tanjung Harapan camp — A charming, smaller

- Tanjung Harapan camp — A charming, smaller research camp with its own feeding platform and boardwalks into the forest; good if you want a quieter night or an easier overnight stop on a multi-day klotok trip.
- Peat swamp forest and boardwalk trails — The park’s habitat is unusual: waterlogged peat, stilt trees and a thick, humid canopy. Short hikes and raised walkways give you a feel for this fragile ecosystem and its strange chemistry and sounds.
- Wildlife and birdwatching — Beyond orangutans you’ll see gibbons, macaques, kingfishers, hornbills and the occasional monitor or crocodile along the river. Bring binoculars and patience; the best sightings often happen from the boat at dawn or dusk.
- Living on a klotok (traditional riverboat) experience — Not a single “place,” but staying overnight on a klotok is a highlight: slow travel, riverside dawns, jungle noises and the convenience of being right where the action is. It’s part transport, part floating guesthouse — and a great budget option.
